You see how easy it is to make accusations on a board with nothing to back them up?
Just as easy as it is to build myths. Epitome says Manwin are the biggest money makers in the biz. Has he seen their audited accounts. Is he their financial director? No he
thinks they are the biggest money maker in the biz. Yet no one has a clue where they are, how many they employ, what their turnover is or their profit margin. In fact when anyone starts to dig, they can't get very deep.
Not like
Ann Summers, or
David Sullivan, or
David Gold, or
Larry Flynt, or
Hugh Hefner and the list goes on.
Paul Raymond.
I've stood in the offices of Score, Crescent, Hustler, PRO, Swank, Galaxy, Goldstar, Sullivan's office in his house.
And Fabian Thylmann. Well he hasn't quite reached that level yet. The biggest money maker in the biz??????
And this is my problem. I see lots of fronts with nothing much concrete behind it when it comes to online porn.
I see companies and people who are clearly clueless about offline porn. They accuse offline of not coming online because "they don't understand it" When the truth is DVD companies were being told if they went online in a big way the shop chains would start to buy less or even not buy. Getting the priceless info on how to drive traffic to a site, isn't rocket science or expensive. Most here could of been employed by offline porn if they wanted a big presence online. They didn't want it until store sales were so low it didn't mater. Even today Max shows offline can achieve a level of porn online can't dream of funding.
Damian thinks Sullivan and Gold made their money outside porn. Well they did make a lot more outside porn, they had the seed money to do that from their porn sales. Does he know where that seed money really came from? I doubt it.
I do and it was a goldmine.
Is he typical of most of the keyboard warriors, just to vain and egotistical to keep invisible. A one man band, works from home and not making much money. Yet desperate to cling on to the belief he's part of a big business?
I'm not rich, just very comfortable, I don't live in a mansion, a nice 3 bedroom semi in a quiet village. We don't pay rent or a mortgage, we own the hose. We were not broke and I was not begging for money here. I was locked out of our bank accounts and offering any discounts to get money in so I could withdraw it on my credit card from the ATM. To pay staff. Yes I do have credit cards. but if Damian posts it often enough, others will pick it up and turn his lies into myths.
We don't spend a lot of money, bit of a miser really. It comes from getting as close to having bailiffs take away our belongings in the 70s that taught me that lesson. I actually have an offline sideline that gives me all the pocket money I need.
Bye, bye. Up dating the sites, then off to watch TV. If I were broke I would be building blogs. See sig and see how much that's progressing.
